Celso Marranzini, Vice president of the State-owned Electricity Companies (CDEEE) says that hospitals affiliated to the Dominican Social Security Institute (IDSS) should have more prolonged blackouts because they don't pay for the energy they consume. He added that the IDSS is among the energy sector's largest debtors, yet they still get power. According to Marranzini, the IDSS owes the energy sector RD$800 million. He said that IDSS hospitals are different from public hospitals because the government is responsible for public hospitals' energy bills. Marranzini was responding to reports published in Hoy yesterday, which said that IDSS hospitals are not immune to prolonged blackouts. The VPs answer was, "the Minister of Public Health, Bautista Rojas Gomez, should give us RD$800 million."
